I avoid Love Island and The Apprentice because I just know I will hate them both.

edit: so I dislike anyone who appears on these shows as contestants.

What gets me with those adverts is how they try to bribe you with something they think will entice the over 50. "sign up today and receive a free Parker pen!" OH MY GOD!! A PARKER PEN!!! that's gonna make me sign up for a massive life insurance policy even though I can get the same pen for £15 in smiths.........

Why waste so much time watching stuff you hate?

If this were 1973 and you only had three channels to pick from, fair enough, but come on, you don't have to look very far these days for alternative viewing choices, even on bog standard Freeview there's about a hundred channels.

And if there's absolutely nothing on at all that tickles your fancy, follow the advice of a classic 70s kids TV show: 'Why Don't You' (just switch of your television set and go do something less boring instead). 

Or put the radio on...

Have you ever met a rugby league fan before?

A persistent and hardy few will even watch rugby union games just so they can feel even more unhappy than they were before.

Perhaps, once I'm fed up with this...

But I rather doubt it.

Are there any actual ALTERNATIVE comedians out there?

Are there any actual alternative COMEDIANS  out there?

I don't watch much TV apart from Motorcycle racing and RL plus the BBC news but from past experience I can absolutely guarantee that any programme with 'Celebrity' in the title  will be absolute s***e, and now the BBC'S trailers are longer than the adverts on ITV I see all-sorts of drivel being pushed, probably explains why we are in the state we are at present

I always imagine people at bbc / itv / c4 / c5 sitting round a desk saying ...’  right , what have celebrities not done yet . Come on think ... err , celebrity gladiators in a real coliseum . To the death ... can we do that ?’  They must nearly have reached celeb doing things saturation point

Yes I’m afraid so ! Even sadder when you see what classes for celebrity ...

[Jasper 121]

Just looked this show up. Here's the blurb from UKTV - My Famous Babysitter is the latest from UKTV  bringing celebrity star names to 2019, like 

Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over,

Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, 

Ski A&E and Inside The Operating Theatre.

 Dr Christian Will See You Now,

John Bishop: In Conversation With...,

The Davina Hour,

and Inside the Ambulance.

She's genuinely dreadful, I've no idea how she's on TV.  I can only assume cronyism or nepotism.  Or she got her job by convincing her half-sister to put out.

What gets me with that is I can’t stop thinking about the fact they used to use   Parky then they cut costs and just name checked him. As in the start of the conversation one of them said like the ads with Parky in. Then he must’ve got that taken out as they now use the same advert with the reference to him removed.
